I've been following UB hoops for decades, but am ignorant on how UB (or any team) schedules their non-conference games. With bits of UB's 24-25 schedule becoming public, would those of you with scheduling knowledge/experience be able to provide some general non-conference Scheduling 101 information? I understand that teams may prefer to play (or not play) UB based on the quality/expectations of the current team, but are there general ABCs that apply every year? Some of my questions include: who contacts who? are there online scheduling portals or calendar databases that teams use? how much influence does the coach/AD/conference have on the dates and home-and-home matchups? what am I missing?

Thank you ahead of time.

Love the lighter wood and clean design - well done!

Thanks for all of your recruiting updates, Jeseph! 

Hey Mods - this is a great topic, but somewhat lost under the current subject header. Could we possibly change the subject header to "NIL," or move the bulk of this discussion to an existing thread? Thanks for your work.

The prospect of an expanded MAC schedule really disappoints me. I always look forward to seeing our non-conference schedule "leak" out during the summer and early fall. With all due respect to the MAC, I can do without another game against the directional schools or the weaker MAC teams. Spoiled, yeah, but bring on The Valley Conference or another A10 team - shake it up, as the Cars said.
